The best way to meet a man is . . . breaking into his house?

Lina Herrera hates risks. With her lukewarm relationship and safe job at a popular Santa Barbara resort, she convinces herself that she's content-even if it means putting her dreams of opening her own photography studio on the back burner.

But when she lets her best friend talk her into retrieving a lost trinket by breaking into her childhood home, her "safe" life is quickly turned on its head.

Reece is a charming man with a mysterious past, and he doesn't seem bothered when he finds her sneaking around his new house. But Lina's aversion to risk-taking threatens to smother their unlikely spark and scare her away before they can get to know one another.

After changes at the resort throw her career into doubt, Lina struggles to find the courage to step out of her comfort zone, both at work and in the bedroom. Can she overcome her fears and build a career of her own? And will she find the passionate, fulfilling relationship that she never knew she craved?

A fun and heartwarming contemporary romance novel, A Liar and a Thief is a memorable read that will sweep you off your feet.
